Las revisiones críticas acerca del quehacer sociológico, así como sobre sus fundamentos y constructos teóricos y metodológicos, en la actualidad permiten diagnosticar un vacío en la forma de abordar la dimensión cultural para el análisis y la comprensión de lo social. En este artículo se describen las principales limitaciones de la sociología clásica en el tema, se explica en seguida la apertura parcial posibilitada por las nuevas corrientes de los estudios culturales, y se busca mostrar la plausibilidad de un concepto de totalidad social que, recogiendo lo fundamental de las tradiciones sociológicas anteriores, se centre en el concepto de hegemonía así como en los fenómenos de heterogeneidad (estructural y cultural) característicos de las formaciones socio-culturales en América Latina

Based on our findings in a research founded by CONICYT carried out in pehuenche communities in Alto Bio, this paper proposes the use of recent perspectives in Linguistic anthropology, languages ideologies model to understand local initiatives of linguistic revitalization, such as the Bilingual intercultural education program (BIEP) in schools in the communities, as spaces of "ideological struggle", that is, social spaces in which several social actors dealing with indigenous languages and its revitalization communities and indigenous organizations, CONADI, MINEDUC, universities have diverse and heterogeneous cultural models about languages in contact (chedungun and Spanish), models that explain the problems that these and other revitalization initiatives have to confront. Thus, first we show the situation of indigenous languages in Chile and how it replicates in the case of pehuenches communities studied, we describe initiatives to revert that situation and the BIEP as one of them and finally, we present the notion of ´language ideology´ and its application to analyze the dynamics of this program in the communities and to give some keys to reformulate it regarding the general indigenous reality.
